This is a good infrographic about the use of SM in schools. It gives some benefits of SM and also there are some teaching ideas with SM.

Here are some highlights... "An increased Interest in Online Learning, Paying Attention to the Digital Footprint, Internet Connectivity, Social Media in Schools, Mobile Devices for Schoolwork" and so on... It is worth to have a look!

This site enables one to research his/her online options with our database of more than 1,600 schools by filtering his/her choices by subject, degree level, tuition, and more to find an online school that will fit his/her needs.

The world's educational philosophy has been changed , and now that we can reach all off the sources online with a computer and Internet connection. This database is quite a beneficial source in terms of its vast filter and content.

I do not know if a similar guide is available for Turkish teachers, but the General Teaching Council for Scotland has prepared a guidance document to help Scottish teachers with "identifying potential dangers, offering some guidance about how to avoid them and providing a context for responsible, professional use of electronic communication and social media." The guide concludes as follows: Before posting materials online stop and ask yourself: (1) Will the content reflect poorly on you, your school, employer or the teaching profession?

Some examples of integrating technology into education

This is the web paged which contains examples of usage the smartboard in disabled childrens classroom. The video about the intreaction gives enjoyful exercises whşch can be used in classroomms. They can be used in primary school, especially for first grade. Als it can also be adopted for math classes or language classes. Have enjoy it.

This is the example from Turkey which is the flipped classroom. Real implementation of technology in education inside and outside classroom.

it is both satisfactory and surprising for me to see such a successful experience in Turkey.

This article empahizes benefits of TPACK in integrating technology into special education and also suggests implications for preservice teacher education.

It's a brief overview of TPACK and ends with a serious claim labeling "Language Teaching" on PCK section unlike many other researchers putting forward an all-encompassing circle.
